[postmall_desk]

Hi, can someone help me out with this issue
I’m looking for a PM test: which pull json value from response body

Hi @postmall_desk

Which value are you trying to get from that response?

[postmall_desk]

Hi @w4dd325 ,
thanks for getting back so quickly,
these are the values I need

{

“id”: “{{id}}”,

“account_id”: “{{account_id}}”,

“reference_id”: “{{reference_id}}”,

“name”: “{{name}}”

}

[w4dd325]

Try this;

const response = pm.response.json();

console.log('id = ' + response[0].id);
pm.collectionVariables.set("id", response[0].id);

console.log('account_id = ' + response[0].account_id);
pm.collectionVariables.set("account_id", response[0].account_id);

console.log('reference_id = ' + response[0].reference_id);
pm.collectionVariables.set("reference_id", response[0].reference_id);

console.log('name = ' + response[0].name);
pm.collectionVariables.set("name", response[0].name);

Note; Uses **response[0]** as the entire response is stored in an array (starts with **[** and ends with **]** … hopefully that makes sense).

Output;

Collection level variables saved;

pm.collectionVariables.set("account_id", response[0].account_id);

console.log('reference_id = ' + response[0].reference_id);
pm.collectionVariables.set("reference_id", response[0].reference_id);

console.log('name = ' + response[0].name);
pm.collectionVariables.set("name", response[0].name);

Thanks for your quick reply it worked, but every time I try to copy the response from the consol.log, it only copies a few lines.is the a way of exporting the response from the console.log?

Do you want to actually test against the values, or just save the values to use in a later call. You can set them in your environment or your collection variables like w4dd325 suggested, or use the snippest on the right pane of the test tab to generate a test template for you.

[w4dd325]

There is also this option,

You have this code in my example above;

const response = pm.response.json();

if you console.log it;

console.log(response);

then you would be able to copy it to the clipboard.

Thank you this worked. I have also started using Newnam as a library to run my collections. I’m getting an error
[{“error_code”: “UNAUTHORIZED”, “message”: “Permission denied.”}]. I downloaded my collection and environment.

newman.run({
collection: require(‘./test_collections_scripts.postman_collection.json’),
environment: ‘./collection_env.postman_environment.json’,
iterationData: ‘./test_collections_scripts.postman_collection.json’',
reporters: ‘cli’,
}
The iteration are running here is the response
